How good of a board would this be for a commute, ~3 miles both ways? not good at skateboarding at all

Well if you have the stamina and the roads are smooth, it would be fine. 3 miles is a long way. haha.

The board will pick up speed quickly but requires a lot of pushing too. Depends on how many hills are on your route and how smooth the road is. Great board for the price, worth a shot..

If you're not concerned about carving or tricks this is a perfect commute board. I would change out the bearings and maybe get bigger wheels to ensure a smoother ride but I really do love this board. And it's muck easier on the pockets than a sector 9

Should be fine if it's a relatively straight shot (With long straight stretches). After all, it's a cruiser.

It works pretty well for me, it can get up to a good speed. Before I bought this I had never skated before, and now I'm decent at it. Just make sure to practice a little bit before you really use it

Do you know hat the laws are in NY concerning owning and riding this?Sounds perfect for going to train and back (2 miles)

Not a chance. You're gonna want a wider pro model. Mini Logo makes a great cheap deck. This is for kids learning to skate.

Hey! I would DEFINETLY reccomend this board if he wants to get into skateboarding. It is very stable and it is great for beginners. I hope he loves it! Best regards

It really depends upon your application. If you want this for running errands, getting from a building to your car and back, or other light outdoor use, it will probably be fine. If by 'out side' you mean traversing rocky or muddy terrain, I'd look elsewhere. The wheels are really made for relatively smooth surfaces, like pavement. Also, beware of large cracks in asphalt or concrete.

I mean it says 176 by these boards seem pretty tough. I ve seen YouTube videos where cars run over them and they don't break. If you re concerned just get the stereo cruiser wood version. Idk if amazon offers them. Another brand is z-flex they offer crusiers and tiny skateboards. Then there others like sector 9 and stuff but again don't know if amazon offers them. But they are a little bit more because they are wood. Idk hopefully this helped. I bought my stereo for $40 bucks on here . Which is a good deal? I mean you should try it for that price.

It rides pretty well on both surfaces! Just overall, the board is rather flimsy compared to another Globe Nickel board I have and the bearings aren't quite as fast. But yeah, I suppose a smooth road is faster than the sidewalk.

Not really.. this board is more for cruising than freestyle. Along with that, the wheels the board comes with are extremely gummy. They're quiet and grippy, good for cruising, but bad for sliding.

yes, about a 10° shift but board is so heavy and the trucks are moved forward so much that you cant use it effectively. save up for a better board, a good board wont be cheap but a cheap board wont be good. learned the hard way because this really is a 50$ board

The deck has a considerable amount of flex(bend) and the first thing I did was buy new bearings (ABEC5) and wheels(80mm). I use mine for commuting 10km on fairly straight, flat roads and with over-sized tires and better bearings it does that perfectly. If you want it for carving, tricks or bombing down hills this is not your board..

I've done an 11-mile commute so 22 miles going to and fro. This bike is a 6-speed which means if you live in a very hilly community and you aren't in the best shape, you'll have to put in a lot of effort. I must say it is a smooth ride but when it comes to hills, it is a bit of a challenge.

I like my 31" cruiser long board better. It's easier to ride no hang ups on anything

It would be uncomfortable because the board is pretty long and heavy compared to a skateboard so I wouldn't recommend it but it can be done.

My little brother measured and said as long as it's the only board you plan to travel with you should be fine. Hope that helps.

No, spend the money and get a quality board. This board snapped inhalf while my daughter was riding down a hill. She ws not trying to do crazy stuff with the board as it is a long board used for cruising. The board broke all the way across the back screws.

Tricks? Like a normal skateboard. No. Just meant for Cruising. Some downhill and craving like a snowboard

you should get a nikle board then because it would be almost imposible riding it
